hi all im new to the forum and i have a couple questions!
after being away all weekend iv come home to find that my tortoise has laid eggs(4 to be exact)!! (hermans tortoise)
i was adivsed (by local reptile shop)to build a incubator and i have using a polystryne box and heat mats habitstat etc
im having trouble with keeping the humidity of the incubator?have you any tips?
iv seen on the forum that it should be betwee 70-85% humdity and 30-31.5 degrees temp is this right?
just looking for any tips that any one might have?
